Engaged by the Hong Kong Tourism Commission, Laservision has recently completed its fourth phase of integrating new buildings into the show in celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Hong Kong Island now boasts 23 featured buildings while Kowloon's ever increasing contribution now totals 20. The show includes an arsenal of LED fixtures, searchlights, high powered lasers, floodlights, fibre optics, pyrotechnics and an original soundtrack that combine to represent the spirit and energy of Hong Kong. The expanded show was launched by the acting Financial Secretary, Mr Stephen Ip.
Phases three and four have seen the incorporation of 10 new buildings into the show. New standout buildings include the Canon / Oterprise Square building, Standard Chartered Bank, Bank of America Tower, Emax, K11 and the Horizon Hotels. The expanded show has incorporated eleven new searchlights installed on Harbour City, Langham Place, Emax, and the installation of a high intensity Stella-Ray II laser system onto the K11 skyscraper which is currently under construction on the Kowloon side. This is the first laser system to be included on the Kowloon side which provides impact to those audiences viewing the show from Hong Kong Island.
A recent survey conducted by the Hong Kong Tourism Commission on the impact of the show on tourism revealed A Symphony of Lightsspectacular increased the length of stay by tourists in Hong Kong by 1.4 days.
